Mid and East Antrim councilors are due to discuss a proposal later on Monday to change a sign bearing the name of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Last month, the King “initiated a formal process” to remove his brother’s titles following controversy over Andrew’s friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew’s association with Epstein has created difficulties for the Royal Family, but he has always strongly denied any wrongdoing.
Prince Andrew Way in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, is among the streets in Northern Ireland named after royalty. It was named to commemorate Andrew’s marriage to Sarah Ferguson in 1986.
Monday’s agenda for Mid and East Antrim Council’s monthly meeting includes a proposal from the Alliance to change the street name.
He calls for the street to be renamed while “maintaining the important link with the Royal Family.”
The motion goes on to say that as the council has been considering ways to honor Queen Elizabeth II, renaming her could be a “fitting tribute”.
On the street there are a small number of homes, as well as some businesses.
Other political parties, including the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), have also said they are in favor of the street being renamed, but it is unclear how long the process could take if the council agrees to the move on Monday night.
In early October, Andrew issued a personal statement saying he would give up all his royal titles, including Duke of York.
This included his title of Baron Killyleagh, which had been bestowed upon him by his mother, Elizabeth II, on their wedding day in 1986.
It followed the resurfacing of emails from 2011, showing Andrew in contact with Epstein months after he claimed their friendship had ended.
The removal of all of Andrew’s titles was formally published earlier this month.
